Atlas Graduate Program: DFT Product Engineering Specialist (2024)

Siemens Digital Industries Software is a global leader in the growing field of product lifecycle management (PLM), manufacturing operations management (MOM), and electronic design automation (EDA) software, hardware, and services. Siemens works with more than 100,000 customers, leading the digitalization of their planning and manufacturing processes.

At Siemens Digital Industries Software, we blur the boundaries between industry domains by integrating the virtual and physical, hardware and software, design and manufacturing worlds. With the rapid pace of innovation, digitalization is no longer tomorrow’s idea. We take what the future promises tomorrow and make it real for our customers today. Our culture encourages creativity, welcomes fresh thinking and focuses on growth, so our people, our business, and our customers can achieve their full potential. 'Transform the everyday’ and ‘Accelerate transformation'.

Siemens EDA has an opportunity for a Product Engineering Specialist to be part of an extended international Product Management team working with Tessent product team. Tessent is the market and technology leader of automated tools for insertion of semiconductor design-for-test (DFT) structures, automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), embedded deterministic test (EDT), diagnosis-driven yield analysis (DDYA, Memory BIST/Repair (MBIST/BISR), and hierarchical SoC DFT solutions such as Streaming Scan Network (SSN). This position presents a great opportunity to stay involved technically while getting exposure to technical marketing and interacting with sales.

This position is a part of the Atlas Graduate Program. Through this program, you will initially receive 12 months of technical and non-technical training, mentorship from Siemens EDA executives and world-class engineers, and learn what it is like to work as part of a company that is solving software challenges in the area of electronic design automation.

Siemens EDA is the longest standing Electronic Design Automation company in the world and over the last 30 years has amassed the finest technology portfolio in the business. Our software tools span the full breadth of semiconductor and electrical systems solutions including integrated circuit design and verification, PCB design & manufacturing solutions, cable harness design tools, and embedded software.

You will assist engineers to develop or enhance computer-aided engineering design or manufacturing processes for a customer. Provide business and technical feedback to software and hardware vendors. Use data exchange methodologies to facilitate effective data sharing between dissimilar systems or applications that span across engineering disciplines. Provide technical guidance to customer engineers in the application of design techniques and system procedures related to computer-aided engineering software. Work with close Supervision. Basic skills with moderate level of proficiency.

Responsibilities:

• Define and characterize new product capabilities needed to meet customer requirements.

• Work collaboratively with Tessent R&D to prototype, evaluate, and test new DFT products and features in context of complex IC design flows.

• Lead beta programs and support beta partners.

• Drive product adoption.

• Create and deliver in-depth technical presentations, develop training material, white papers, contributed articles, and application notes.

• Work with customers as well as Siemens EDA stakeholders such as regional application engineers, global support engineers, and marketing.

• Work through complex technical issues and independently create solutions and new methodologies.

• Explain complex principles in simple terms to broad audiences.

• Some travel, domestic and international.

Required Knowledge/Skills, Education, and Experience:

• BS degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field is required.
